Neighbor-joining analysis of canine Babesia sequences obtained from samples submitted. A 550bp fragment of the 18S rRNA was aligned with representative sequences derived from GenBank. Bootstrap values (1000 replications) are shown in the phylogenetic tree. Comparison of the B. canis sequences obtained in this study with genotypes A and B. Samples sequenced in the present study are marked with red cycle (MN173220- MN173223). The tree was inferred using the neighbor joining method of MEGA7, bootstrap values are shown at each branch point
